While the exclamation point is for the kids' excitement, not my excitement to not be with them, I am thankful that they both woke up excited about today. I LOVED school and we want them to love it too.
They both have wonderful teachers who love the Lord and whom we have prayed over for year; especially this summer. What a blessing to have these women loving on my kids during the hours I am not with them. They are amazing!
The first thing Landry said as I woke her this morning was "It's the first day of school!" with a huge smile on her face. I was so happy for her. As I went to wake up Brooks, his door opened and there he stood dressed, his bed made and wth a huge smile on his face. That is a great way to start the year.
As Brooks lead Landry in to school, Principal Hower stopped Landry for a chat. She had that look like, "Can you stop talking so I can start my day but, well...since you are the new principal, I'll give you a few moments."
Thank you Lord for the plans you have for their lives. Thank you that you care about every aspect of their days and that you have all these details worked out. Thank you for the privilege to be there every day and that Daddy is their biggest fan. You are so good to us and we thank you for going ahead of us every day. We love you Lord. Please help the kids be bold in your name that they may prepare for the work ahead. You have Big Plans! Amen.
"There is no God like you in all of heaven above or on the earth below. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion." 1 Kings 8:23
